Former prime minister #JeanChrétien is warning that Donald #Trump is a #ThreatToDemocracy because the U.S. president "does not care much about the #RuleOfLaw," and that "could cause a lot of problems south of the border."

"#WesternSociety is built on the rule of law," Chrétien said in an interview with CBC’s #TheHouse. "When there is no more rule of law, it’s #blackmail on a daily basis, and it’s not working."

How is #bigtech a #threattodemocracy ?

How is it possible that gerrymandering is allowed in the USA? When I check in the swedish national encyclopedia it puts gerrymandering in the cathegory of "abuse of power". The land of the free.... well, not for long.

Boycott #Seperatist #DanielleSmith’s #Alberta until she stops threatening Canada.

Do #Albertans think we #NDP voters were happy to scuttle our own party just to prevent #Conservative rule?

For many, this was not an election to celebrate, but you don’t see us threatening separation despite our pleas for #ProportionalRepresentation being silenced.

#Canada will not be held hostage by a entitled child Premier, attacking the outcome of our democratic election.

Hold your quisling referendum Alberta, then take #SeparatistSmith, your corrupt #UCP and it’s #MapleMAGA base and leave. Good riddance.

This speech by French senator Claude Malhuret is amazing. He doesn't hold back, laying into #Trump and #Musk (calling the latter a "buffoon on ketamine" 😂)

He likens Trump's pace to that of the Weimar Republic falling in just over a month. 😬

"people under permanent supervision will, in time, adopt behaviours that are pleasing to others rather than true to themselves"

Great observation by Jamie Susskind in his excellent #book The Digital Republic

So even if you're not bothered about the #threattodemocracy posed by #surveillancecapitalism and #bigtech,
maybe it'll annoy you to know that we're all being moulded into sycophantic fakes.

This idea is also explored in Doppelganger by Naomi Klein.
